Thanksgiving in St. George

Jackson's first flight and family vacation!! We were so grateful for the chance to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with the
Henderson family in St. George! We had all sorts of family adventures: singing Christmas carols around the piano, special lunches with Grandma and cousins, movie time, learning gun safety, hiking black mountain early in the morning, Lizzy's baby shower, late night movies, family pictures... but most of all we enjoyed the time

reconnecting with everyone. We might

LOVE living in Texas, but we MISS our family!! Jackson especially was excited to meet everyone and give them a good show of his skills: smiling, cooing, clicking, kicking like crazy, and playing in Grandma Carrie's baby gym!

Jackson's Baby Blessing

You know that feeling you get when you're so far behind that you don't know where to start catching up??? That's where I'm at! It's been way too long since we've posted any of the exciting things going on in the Henderson household. So, today my goal is to play catch up.

November 6, 2012 Jackson Michael Henderson was blessed by his daddy in the Canyon West Ward. We were SO very grateful to have such amazing support from our family! Grandpa Lon and Grandpa Petersen got to meet baby Jackson for the first time, along with the Browning family who came in from Dallas. We were of course happy to have my mom with us again as well. What a special day! A few friends (the Copes and Bri and Memphis Norton) joined us for a luncheon and the blessing. Michael truly worked and prayed to prepare himself for this time that we had looked forward to for so long. We well remember being in our married student wards in Provo and always wondering when it would be our turn to bless a precious child. We're so grateful for the timing, and for the miracle it is to have Jackson in our home. The blessing was a sacred and uniting moment for our little family.
